What’s the Meaning of the XO and Wink Text? These shortcodes are attention grabbers.
XO SMS Signage
XO has historical significance for it has been around since the days of letter writing or even earlier. Now in modern times, XO is simply SMS slang to mean hugs and kisses as a friendly gesture.
If you are seeing someone special at least once a week and texting each other daily, you may receive an XO text. This shortcode is a sign that the relationship is moving in the right direction. If things are going well, XOs may start showing up as messages from one, two, and three times. Before you know it, the XOs may even start multiplying. But what if you notice that the number of XOs start suddenly decreasing? Is your date less interested? Try and gauge the XO increase or decrease ratio with how often you talk and see each other. If you find the number goes from one XO to several XOXOXOs over time, then your date is definitely into you and wants you to know it! On the other hand, if your XOXOXOs turn into XO or they stop altogether; it could be that your date is just not that into you anymore.
XO may conjure up new meaning such as “crossed out” of life.

EZ Microwave Texting
Texting allows us to transmit our thoughts in order to obtain a response within minutes, but it also distracts us from being in the present moment. Texting lets us accelerate the speed at which we connect with others giving us the opportunity to nurture relationships even faster.
It goes without saying when something looks good and helpful, you may find that after its use it is quite hindering.
Even though technology offers many communiqué advantages, technology can easily deter us from using our very own social skills in having “real” verbal conversations, so try not to get easily lost in texting and forget to look up and actually speak to the person directly in front of you. Yes, start to use your voice to converse and stop being socially inept.
Review your SMS and text the “write thing”
Texting can be a clear cut way of misinterpreting how you feel and what others say and mean. If you care to text, then text with caution.
